Games People Play

If Biden is unable to head a party ticket, and he isn't and we all know the reason why, then by that same reasoning he should not be President. Yet he is, at least at this writing. Why? Simple. If Vice President Kamala Harris takes office before November the Democrats lose an important campaign slogan. We would not be electing the first female minority to the White House. It would already be done. The Democrats are gaming the system. It's as simple as that. They want to have and eat their cake. It's nothing new. They've hid frail and infirm Presidents before (Wilson and FDR, if you care to know) so I'm not shocked by that. And the Harris candidacy fits in with 'right side of history' rhetoric. It's how they roll. I for one will not be gamed. I hope you won't either.

Who'd a Thunk It?

Me son Charlie has been visiting the last few days. Me son Frank spent a few days here back in April. Good times. What's weird, at least to my tired old brain, is that they each worked while they were here. At their regular, paying jobs. Charlie set up shop at the dining room table, while Frank had arranged himself a work space in his old bedroom. I actually took a picture of that and labelled it, Frank's Office. Telecommuting is until yet a concept I have trouble wrapping my head around. Working from anywhere with this device called a personal computer? I fully realize it's work but it doesn't seem like it.

Writers, indeed many self employed, have done it for years. Hell, doctors and dentists once did. Yet watching my sons work from home hundreds of miles away from their actual job setting? It's ...

Woodbridge Nature

Nature is resilient. It adapts. That's the main reason why environmental issues aren't at the forefront of my worries. Yes, we should be good stewards. But Nature rules its own sphere. Over the years in Woodbridge, my local Detroit neighborhood, I've seen wildlife come back in abundance. I've observed pheasants, hawks, rabbit, beavers, and opossum. Feral cats are everywhere; there aren't near the rats there once were, and perhaps that's why.  In the last year there have been two deer sighted, one right by the old barn. And this very day while on my morning constitutional, I saw a wild turkey. No, not an empty bottle of the famous rotgut. A wild turkey, with a baby in tow.  Nature rebounds, it answers all challenges. My own Detroit environs prove it.
